Sex, intimacy, and relationships don’t end after an HIV diagnosis—but the stigma surrounding it is still holding people back.

This week on Daring Discussions, I’m joined by LaDeia Joyce, an advocate and educator who is changing the narrative around HIV, pleasure, and self-worth. We’re talking about what it really means to navigate love, dating, and sex while living with HIV, and why the conversation needs to change.

In this episode, we break down:

✔️ The challenges and realities of disclosure when dating
✔️ How faith and sexuality can coexist after a diagnosis

This conversation is necessary, insightful, and full of real talk. Whether you’re living with HIV or just want to be more informed, this episode is for you. Hit play and let’s break the stigma together.
